ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AROUND 50-55MPH THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN WITH NO WARNING. THERE WILL BE SOME SLIGHT HESITATION AS THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS UP AND ALL POWER IS LOST. HAVE BEEN ABLE TO COAST OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BEFORE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP WHERE I CAN THEN TURN THE CAR OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES NOW AND CAN BE POTENTIALLY VERY HAZARDOUS. I AM ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR IMMEDIATELY AND BE BACK ON MY WAY WITH NO PROBLEM. HAS BEEN HAPPENING ONCE EVERY WEEK OR SO. HAVE TAKEN TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE WHERE THEY TELL ME THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THEY DO NOT NOW WHAT IS CAUSING IT. *TR

VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. VARIOUS CONDITIONS. IDLING, CRUISING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, ACCELERATING, DECELERATING, ETC. MUST SHUT KEY OFF TO RESET ENGINE BEFORE THE VEHICLE WILL START AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 20 TIMES WITH NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATING. IT HAS BECOME A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE SINCE ALL POWER IS LOST AT ANY SPEED. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT A SPEED OF SIXTY FIVE MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, WHEN THE ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF, LOSING POWER AND MAKING IT VERY HARD TO GET THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD AND STOPPED SAFELY. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES IN THE YEAR WE HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF IT MAKES IT VERY HARD TO TURN BECAUSE POWER STEERING IS DISABLED BECAUSE THE ENGINE IS NOT RUNNING. WHEN THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF IT MAKES IT VERY HARD TO GET TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROADWAY WITHOUT ANY ENGINE POWER AND THE SUDDEN SLOWING DOWN IS A VERY HIGH RISK FOR A REAREND COLLISION. WE HAVE HAD NUMEROUS CLOSE CALLS IN THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE REPLACED NUMEROUS PARTS TO TRY AND RESOLVE THIS ISSUE BUT WITH NO SUCCESS IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM FIXED AND THEY SAY (WE CAN NOT GET THE VEHICLE TO ACT UP WITH THE TECHNICIAN DRIVING THE VEHICLE TO EXACTLY PIN POINT THE PROBLEM.) THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING BECAUSE THIS VEHICLE IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH THIS ISSUE. I HAVE LOOKED UP NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND ISSUES OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME VEHICLE HAVING IDENTICAL PROBLEMS AND HAVE YET TO BE RESOLVED. WE HAVE REPLACED SPARK PLUGS, COILS, MAP SENSOR, MDS WIRING HARNESS, IGNITION SWITCH WITH OEM PARTS AND THE ISSUE STILL CONTINUES. I RECOMMEND FAULTY ENGINE WIRING, ECM, TO THE SERVICE ADVISORS JUST TO BE IGNORED. THEY TELL ME UNTIL THE ISSUE IS RECORDED ON THE VEHICLE SCANNER THAT NOTHING CAN BE DONE TO PIN POINT THE PROBLEM. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
PURCHASED USED IN SPRING 2008 WITH APPROX. 30K MILES, IN SPRING OF 2010 HAD SEVERAL WEEKS OF ISSUES RANGING FROM VEHICLE CUTTING OFF RANDOMLY, VEHICLE JUMPING WHILE AT STOP LIGHTS, HESITATING TO GO INTO 2ND AND 3RD GEAR AND THEN THE 'SERVICE PARK ASSIST' LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE ALONG WITH THE GEAR INDICATOR LIGHTS BEING ALL HIGHLIGHTED. OBVIOUSLY THE DEALER COULD NOT REPRODUCE THIS BUT REPLACED THE 'SHIFTER MECHANISIM / SHIFT LEVER HOUSING, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CONSOLE SHIFTER' AND NOW IN JANUARY OF 2013 AT 83369 MILES, WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM LUNCH WE COULD NOT GET THE VEHICLE TO COME OUT OF FIRST AND THE GEAR INDICATOR LIGHTS WERE ALL HIGHLIGHTED. AND FOR ABOUT 2 OR MORE MONTHS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES AS BEFORE WITH THE VEHICLE CUTTING OFF, ACCELERATION ISSUES, JUMPING WHILE IN DRIVE AT A STOP LIGHT. WAITING FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO CALL BACK BECAUSE ITS A JEEP AND YOU CANT HAVE NEWER JEEPS REPAIRED BY ANYONE OTHER THAN A DEALERSHIP. COMPLETE RACKET. NOT TO MENTION THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN CHECK THE TRANSMISSION FLUID, THAT HAS TO BE DONE BY A DEALERSHIP ALSO. WILL NOT BUY JEEP AGAIN! EVER!!!!! *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, POWER TRAIN
I WAS PULLING OUT ONTO THE HIGHWAY. AS I GOT UP TO AROUND 15 MPH, ALL THE SHIFT INDICATOR LIGHTS LIT UP ,AROUND PARK, NEUTRAL, DRIVE AND REVERSE. MY ACCELERATION CUT OFF. I COULDN'T ACCELERATE PAST, MAYBE, 20 MPH. THE RPMS WOULD GO UP, WITH NO RESPONSE FROM THE VEHICLE. I HAD CARS COMING UP FAST BEHIND ME AND I COULDN'T GO ANY FASTER OR PULL OFF, TILL THE NEXT TURN OFF. ALSO, IF I'M PULLING OUT, FROM A STOP, SOMETIMES I JUST LOSE POWER AND MY CAR CRAWLS ON TO THE ROAD, ESPECIALLY IF ON A INCLINE. IT'S REALLY SCARY AND DANGEROUS. *TR

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM PICKING UP MY DAUGHTER FROM A SCHOOL EVENT WHEN SUDDENLY MY CAR SLOWED DOWN ON ITS OWN DOWN TO 10 MPH. THEN THE CAR COMPLETELY STOPPED. ON THE CONTROL CONSOLE IT ONLY READ "SERVICE PARK ASSIST" AND THE DRIVE POSITION CONTROLS WHERE ALL HIGHLIGHTED AND BOXED OUT (DRNP). I LOST ALL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE OTHER THAN TURNING THE WHEEL. I TRIED TO ACCELERATE BY PRESSING THE GAS AND IT JUST REVVED THE ENGINE AND DID NOTHING ELSE. I SWERVED OFF THE ROAD AND HIT A MEDIAN THAT TOOK OUT THE TIRE AND LEFT DAMAGE TO THE LEFT OF THE CAR UNDER CARRIAGE. I HAD TO SHIFT THE GEAR INTO PARK AND BACK TO DRIVE IN ORDER FOR THE CAR TO START UP AGAIN. I TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL JEEP CHRYSLER DODGE SERVICE DEPOT AND HAD IT RAN FOR A DIAGNOSTIC FOR AT WHICH TIME THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A COMMON ISSUE FOUND IN THIS MODEL AND EARLIER MODELS AND THAT IT WASN'T COVERED BY THE POWER TRAIN THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NEED $1100.00 IN REPAIRS TO FIX AN ELECTRONIC TRANSFORMER SHIFT MODULATOR. I HAD JUST PURCHASED THE CAR ON OCTOBER 31 FROM A JEEP CHRYSLER DODGE DEALERSHIP AND LESS THAN THREE WEEKS LATER THE CAR IS FOR CRAP. AND THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND JEEP HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BUT THEY HAVE FOR THE 2006 MODEL. THIS PROBLEM IS LIFE THREATENING. IT CAN OCCUR AT ANYTIME AT ANY SPEED. IF I WERE ON A EXPRESSWAY MY CHILDREN AND I WOULD PROBABLY BE DEAD. JEEP NEEDS TO BE PURSED FOR THIS ISSUE AND FORCED TO FIX THE DAMAGE ON ANY VEHICLES REPORTING THIS ISSUE. *TR

ENGINE
THE ENGINE OF THE VEHICLE WILL STOP AT LOW SPEEDS <30MPH. HAPPENS IN TRAFFIC AND REPESENTS A POTIENTAL SAFEY HAZARD. FORTUNALY IT HAS NOT STOPPED ON ANY RAILROAD TRACKS OR IN AN INTERSECTION. HAS OCCURED OVER 2 MONTHS. HAVE TAKEN TO THE AUTHORIZED JEEP DEALSHIP AND THEY HAVE NOT RESOLVED THE ISSUE. READING THE PRIOR INCIDENTS REPORTED TO THE AGENCY, THE STOPPING OF THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO BE A CHRONIC AND PERSISTANT PROBLEM THAT REPRESENTS A SAFETY RISK TO ANY ONE THAT DRIVES THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURE DOES NOT EVEN SEEM TO KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE ISSUE. *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
2007 JEEP COMMANDER LIMITED 5.7L HEMI STALLED AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. THIS TIME, MY DAUGHTER WAS PULLING INTO THE DRIVEWAY WHEN IT STALLED AND SHE HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE BRAKES OR STEERING BECAUSE THEY DON'T WORK WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLS. SHE JUST ABOUT DROVE THROUGH THE GARAGE DOOR. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND MUST BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR EVEN WORSE, KILLED. I TOOK IT TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THEY UPDATED THE PCM, BUT AS SOON AS I LEFT IT STALLED AGAIN, SO I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY REPLACED AN IGNITION COIL. AS SOON AS I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY ON MY WAY HOME, IT STALLED AGAIN. THEY WANT TO REPLACE ALL OF THE IGNITION COILS WHICH WILL COST ABOUT $550, AND THEY CLAIM THIS MAY FIX THE ISSUE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW JEEP DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF JEEP OWNERS THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE WITH NO FIX. THAT'S ALL WE WANT IS A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. *TR

POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE RANDOMLY STALLS WHILE DRIVING IT AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND WHILE PARKED. THIS TIME, I WAS GOING 45MPH AND IT COMPLETELY STALLED. THE VEHICLE HAS TO BE IN PARK IN ORDER TO RESTART IT AND IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO START. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SINCE THE BRAKES AND STEERING DON'T WORK WHEN IT STALLS. I HAVE ALSO DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON A HANDFUL OF 2008 COMMANDERS DUE TO A MALFUNCTIONING FRONT CONTROL MODULE OR TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. THIS SHOULD BE TAKEN VERY SERIOUSLY BECAUSE MANY JEEP OWNERS ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE THEM DUE TO THE UNCERTAINTY OF THE RANDOM STALLING. *TR
